SYNOPSIS: 223 pages. The dedicated British veterinarian conducts a guided tour through the land of "All Creatures Great and Small" with walks and drives over the beautiful rolling countryside where he lives and works. Yorkshire is Herriot country--restless winds ruffling the heater on the lonely moors, rustic stone walls stretching across lush green dales, gentle sheep grazing near isolated farmhouses. All the cherished scenes and memorable characters of the wonderful Herriot books come to life as the world's most beloved veterinarian takes you it his favorite places...and in warm, loving, deeply enriching commentary, shares with you memories of his life with Helen, Siegfried, Tristan and the special animals he has so tenderly cared for in this hauntingly beautiful corner of England.
